Say that three times fast! Well, I gotta love Facebook! A middle-school friend contacted me a few weeks ago through Facebook to see if I could make a wedding card for her. I had one in 'stock' that she liked and then she asked me if I would make her son a birthday card for his upcoming birthday! How nice!

She told me a few things her son liked and we settled on this VW Bug from Stamping Bella. Now, the original bug has a daisy flower right in the middle (definitely not appropriate for an 11 year old boy). So, I covered the daisy with scotch tape, inked my stamp and then removed the tape, stamped image and voila, no daisy!

I stamped the image twice, so I could 'pop' the bug up (you can see the layers from the angle I took the picture) The bug is colored with prisma pencils and I used glossy accents on the headlights. I added JJ's name to the plate and a balloon with his age. I finished it off with some twine, a PTI sentiment and a button where the daisy was because the middle was too bare.

Well, I'm pleased with the result. Hopefully Paula and her son will be too!

What a fun card!!! I would buy this one in an instant, love the VW Bug and the paper piecing, with the spots, perfect. Wonderful card as always. Have a great weekend, I am trying to get those last minute gifts done and shipped.
